All The Small Things

This poem is all about the things we take for granted. The things hidden in plain sight, but never notice. So look up towards the sky, and smell the flowers. And see the small things hidden inside

All the small things

I am the forest 

enchanted light between branches 

Crickets playing their part 

In the symphony of the trees  

T’was I the owl in the night 

the moon,grass and the pine

all weeping a sacred chime 

 I am the sea

Waves crashing with the rage of the earth 

ocean exhaling from its small hurt

Its light doesn't need to fly

Flames going down now starless 

Whales dancing in the mist of sky 

 

I am the swampy marsh 

water flows from tears once cried 

sheltered being but that I tried 

painted trees on water edge 

egrets are flying overhead

But now I am forgotten 

like burning pages of dead folklore

I am the places you look for

the treasures you find

Speak of me as I am 

for I am all the small things 

Hidden inside

There is such a beauty in your words and all the hidden things you write of. I especially loved the forest with its enchanted lights and the moon, grass and pine weeping a sacred chime. There is so much beauty lying unseen out there. It needs a very special effort to behold.

The poem could also be related to hidden beauty of emotions inside us, such as sea waves crashing with the rage of the earth. Indeed,in our everyday quests, we must stop and look around, take stock of the hidden beauty around and be grateful for it. Never to be forgotten.

What I love most about this poem is you're writing about all the small things right? But with each new paragrapgh you're describing all the big things on this earth then you go into the smaller things like example you mention the ocean but then talk about waves and whales. I absolutely love that and I don't know if you intended to do that but I thought it was greatly written!

Thank you so much for noticing!!!! I did that because even in the biggest of places there are little things there that can be at some times noticeable. I am very glad you enjoyed it!

This poem stirred my senses. Sight, sound and smell. You convey the natural environment in a beautiful way. She should never be taken for granted. Pleased I stopped by.
